Not long ago, I handed my Bible to a friend that she might read a passage aloud to our Bible study group. She looked at me with one of those *blink*blink* types of looks. She has her own reasons why reading some prints is more difficult, but trying to read among all of my notes, arrows, highlighting, and circles was almost impossible.
Well, if you can relate to what I'm talking about, perhaps you need a copy of Thomas Nelson's NoteWorthy New Testament. (Or maybe it's your friend that could use one.) NoteWorthy is a New Testament designed with journaling in mind. Moving through the New Testament from Matthew to Revelation, 52 selections (with plenty of space for notes) are divided into the six days of the week. Sunday's entire page is lined, prompting the reader to take time, reflect on the week's readings, and record any new thoughts and revelations. After the text, there are multiple lined pages for journaling in the back of the book. The passages are not assigned dates or specific days of the week, so you can start any time. A year after starting, you will have read through the New Testament in its entirety, meditating and journaling on the Incarnation, the birth of the Church, Paul's Epistles to the Church, and the promise of Christ's return. My copy was written in the New King James Version, so pronouns referring to the Trinity are capitalized. There are no study notes or charts, no maps, no words written in red, and no cross references. Where the Holy Spirit takes your study is entirely up to where you are willing to follow.
The complimentary copy I received was bound in purple Leathersoft™ with silver-gilding on page edges, and printed in 9-point Comfort Print®. It's lightweight, only about an inch thick, and measures 6.75" x 8.25". It has a purple satin bookmarker and a presentation page. It retails on Amazon for $34.49, at FaithGateway for $22.99, and is currently on sale at Christianbook.com for $22.49.
